        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>fini</em></span> is the complement of <a class="link" href="fouti.html" title="fouti"><em class="citetitle">fouti</em></a> and <a class="link" href="foutir.html" title="foutir"><em class="citetitle">foutir</em></a>. It reads the  values each time the corresponding instrument note is activated. When <span class="emphasis"><em>iformat</em></span> is set to 0 and the end of file is reached, the file pointer is zeroed. This restarts the scan from the beginning. When <span class="emphasis"><em>iformat</em></span> is set to 1 or 2, no looping is enabled and at the end of file the corresponding variables will be filled with zeroes.
